Waleed Abood

Waleed Abood, MD serves as an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Wayne State University School of Medicine within the Department of Neurology, conducting clinical and research activities at the University Health Center in Detroit, MI. His role encompasses specialized epilepsy care and technological innovation in seizure monitoring.

His academic credentials include:

• M.B.Ch.B. from University of Baghdad, College of Medicine, Baghdad, Iraq (2003-2009)
• Neurology Residency at University of Missouri, Columbia, MO (2016)
• Epilepsy Fellowship at The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD (2020)

Dr. Abood's research is rigorously focused on epilepsy surgery and device-driven seizure detection, particularly through non-EEG wearables and advanced EEG software for source localization. His work explores quantitative EEG applications in intracranial monitoring, bridging clinical neurology with cutting-edge neurotechnology to improve seizure prediction and surgical outcomes. This niche specialization positions him at the intersection of computational neuroscience and practical epilepsy therapeutics.

His sole documented publication, the 2022 StatPearls chapter "Postictal Seizure State," exemplifies his commitment to medical education in epilepsy while reflecting broader trends in clinical neurophysiology literature—emphasizing accessible, evidence-based resources for seizure management. Though limited in number, this output aligns with his focus on translating technical EEG insights into clinical practice.

Dr. Abood maintains active clinical responsibilities in Detroit with no referenced student mentorship, grant funding, or collaborative teams in the source material, though his device-study participation indicates industry-adjacent research engagement.
